From a reporting standpoint achieving the interviews have become a little more challenging in that some are a bit camera shy. Never-the-less, I have been able to capture some really cool cats. I start out the day and leave my camera slung around my neck as I walk the beach, street and various establishments. Most people are pretty receptive to me and my casual approach and am having a super time finding new and interesting information each day.
My Australian friend Mandy left this morning and so to celebrate her last day she took me to still another dock on the lagoon side of the island where we had a most wonderful conversation and had the most delightful swim. The water was so clean and clear from this particular dock you could see everything below the surface. It is not uncommon to see many varieties of swimming creatures below. Once in the water, a renewed sense of self emerges from the ocean that is neither too hot nor too cold. We stayed until after sunset which by-the-way is quite different every day casting either various light forms from the sky that may peek through the clouds or sometimes amber to reddish hue that appears when there are no clouds.
On our way back we ate at Pizza Caulker, the only pizza place on the island. Last night’s special was Hawaiian pizza. I was able to interview both the waitress and the proprietor of the restaurant and that was fun. Then Mandy took hold of the camera so that I may do a bit of an introduction or at least a few words on my part on the subject of Caye Caulker. All the while we were there Bob Marley played in the background.
Afterwards, between the sun and tropical air I was ready to head back and call it a night.
